Proceeding contribution from Julian Brazier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.


Armed Forces Bill

The hon. Gentleman said that the commanding officer would be able to submit evidence. I accept that he could submit evidence to the court martial, but the clause rules out a compromise whereby he could submit evidence before the matter proceeds to court. The word ““directly”” makes it clear that evidence must be submitted before the commanding officer has had an opportunity to have his say.
